Outside, you look together, but inside, you are falling apart.
Samantha* and David* both saw that things were falling apart. Things had been bad for a while, but the discovery of David’s infidelity was the last straw.
At the beginning of their relationship, they were best friends and felt like anything was possible if they were together. Now, conversations seem stilted, and the rare attempts at intimacy are like going through the motions. He feels unappreciated; she feels resentful. They need help. So now what?
Once, you were inseparable soul mates and even finished each other’s sentences. Now, the person you used to hold closest in the world is just someone you lie next to at night. One person feels unappreciated, and the other feels resentful.
So many things remain unsaid because neither of you wants to start yet another fight. Fighting? You are now at a point where you don’t even do that anymore because, “What’s the point?”
Does giving up seem like an option?
You are unsure what to say or do because there hasn’t been much communication. The days continue to go by slowly, and nothing is changing between you and your spouse.
Your friends and family are starting to notice the disconnect, and you’re tired of hearing, “Are y’all okay?”
Relationships can be challenging. Changing them doesn’t have to be.
Many couples enter couples therapy to decide on their marriage’s or long-term relationship’s direction. The question becomes whether to improve or abandon the relationship.
“Do we stay together or call it quits?”
If this resonates with you and your partner, understand that this question has potentially life-altering consequences depending on your chosen pathway.
Couples therapy is an excellent way to help you confidently make this decision!
Couples report feeling calm and a sense of accomplishment once it’s complete because they know that either way, they’ve done everything possible to handle this decision with care.
Couples therapy can help!
As a couples therapist, I help those who know there is a better tomorrow but aren’t sure how to get there.
I provide a safe and welcoming environment for you to explore your thoughts, good, bad, and ugly, without fear of judgment.
We will work together to understand your story, where you are now, where you’ve been, and where you want to be.
Now is the time!
Through our work together, you can gain the necessary tools to stop unhealthy patterns and learn to communicate your needs to each other.
In this space, you can learn to work through disagreement, dissolve anger and resentment, break down poor relationship roles, and stop taking the other person for granted.
As you work together, you can show up as your authentic selves and get your best friend back.
It is time to reignite the passion in the bedroom and, more importantly, learn to love each other again.
Continue to focus on the benefits of your work together. Stay focused on the user’s experience.
Here’s how couples therapy works!
We will meet with all parties involved, and then I will meet with each of you individually. This approach allows me to understand more clearly how each party shows up as a couple and an individual.
As we start the journey, I will listen but not choose sides. I will help you play fair and listen to the other person. We will work to figure out what type of negative pattern you are in so that you can unlearn maladaptive habits.
I will also help each party navigate how they may contribute to the struggles to allow a healthy connection.
The next step is to contact me at (931) 553-9750 or gracetherapyservicesllc@gmail.com because if you don’t, nothing will change, and your relationship will worsen. Let’s get your relationship back on track!
